Waiting times for treatment in some areas are up to 52 weeks for Maternal Mental Health Services. This is time parents and babies don’t have: https://t.co/bxAbAvO04h #MakeAllCareCount
The increase in the number of MMHS is welcome, providing life-changing support to more women, babies and families. However, the wide variation between services suggests there are not enough resources to meet the needs of the population. https://t.co/bxAbAvO04h #MakeAllCareCount
@EmmaJaneCushnan @two_parrots Thanks Emma. I would love to know what kind of peer support you would like to see more of in MMHSs. This is also a huge interest of mine.
This is such an important report. Maternal Mental Health Services are ground breaking (but I’m biased as I led the team who wrote the policy to create them) but what this report shows is that they are only scratching the surface of the need. #MakeAllCareCount
The Maternal Mental Health Alliance calls on the government to further invest in Maternal Mental Health Services, end the postcode lottery and provide vital support to all women, babies, and families. It’s time to act: https://t.co/bxAbAvO04h #MakeAllCareCount

@pgrigg@BPSOfficial Thanks Peter. I hope you are well too. I’d love to reconnect. Our NIHR grant is in part about co-developing peer support models (that can be tested) that meet the needs of under-represented/marginalised communities. I’m so passionate about peer support but we need more evidence.

Fantastic new guidance from @TheLancet for researchers on reporting race & ethnicity; asking authors to explain how they have defined and assigned ethnicity, and to comment on representativeness of their samples #inclusion#representationmatters 🤩 https://t.co/dWvoPxZfYi
Really interesting paper about which older adults are not opting into Talking Therapies and why. Lovely methodology that could be replicated for other under-represented groups.
